Extension support is bad compared to Firefox or Chrome and since most sites are made for Chrome these days, you may find a site or two where not everything works well.Ĭhrome has more extensions, better site compatibility and better security, but isn't good for privacy. Safari has the best integration with Apple products and the best battery life. For Windows, there are Dev Channel with weekly and Canary Channel with daily updates available to download.It depends a lot on how you use your browser. Currently only the cutting edge Canary with daily updates is available on Mac. Give Microsoft Edge a try if you don’t want use Chrome but don’t want to miss out the ability to cast any page to your big TV. Just like Chrome’s cast ability, when you are casting sites like YouTube, YouTube app will launch over Chromecast so the browser will act as a remote controller. That’s how you can Cast any page inside Microsoft Edge to your Chromecast. This way you don’t have to narrow down and find the menu few levels deep into the menu. You can fix this by right click the icon and select “Always show icon”. By clicking it, it will list all available Chromecast devices from the drop-down.īy default, once you’ve stopped casting the icon would disappear from the top menu area. This will trigger a familiar Cast icon on the top menu. To enable Casting to Chromecast, go to the triple dot (…) menu > More Tools > Cast Media to Devices… Cast Media to Device

It goes to the same for support Chromecast. The placement of back, forward, reload buttons, the address bar, and additional user settings are exactly where Chrome has put them. The menu and icon layout are almost identical. Microsoft Edge has a familiar feel like Chrome.

It was considered as the cutting edge browser and Apple had an agreement with Microsoft that they would support and provide IE as Mac’s default browser. Believe it or not, once upon a time there was Microsoft Internet Explorer running on Mac OS. Back in 1997, Microsoft was in the business of making web browser for Mac OS. In this case, the repetition cycle is around 20 years.
